UNSPSC 50425412: Split yellow peas

A small pea with a circular shape and a very mild flavor. They are usually dried and then split in half before they are sold. WFP food convention

UNSPSC 50425412 Split yellow peas, a Commodity code, does not reflect meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers a single dried legume product, yet recent solicitations tagged with this code show no actual purchasing of split yellow peas. Instead, state and local governments are buying broader food-supply bundles—multi-category meal programs, produce blends, mixed dried beans, and general grocery staples—where split yellow peas, if ordered at all, represent a line item among dozens or hundreds. The mismatch between the code's granular scope and the actual solicitation structure suggests this Commodity code is either misapplied in state and local procurement systems or rarely used as a distinct purchasing unit.

The visible recent opportunities in the source data center on wider procurement categories: the City of Edinburg, Texas Child and Adult Care Food Program (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) solicits five supply categories spanning beverages, paper goods, proteins, vegetables, and nonfood items to serve approximately 400 children daily; the Oregon Department of Corrections (ITB S-29100-00016233, due March 20, 2026) requested 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans specifically; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026) solicited approximately 382 food line items across proteins, dairy, grains, and produce. School districts including Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) and Rockwood R-VI School District (bid due April 29, 2026) procure master grocery contracts with hundreds of items. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Missouri, with secondary presence in Oregon, Virginia, and Illinois. No recent solicitations discovered through the source explicitly request split yellow peas as a distinct line item or primary procurement unit, marking this code as dormant or systemically misclassified at the commodity level.
